We warned that Texas, the Florida Panhandle, South Florida, and the Carolinas faced a higher-than-average risk of direct impacts this season. Three of those four areas have already verified this season. Hurricane Beryl made landfall along the Texas coast in July. Hurricane Debby hit the Big Bend region of Florida in August, followed by a second landfall as a tropical storm in South Carolina,\u201d Porter explained. \u201cIt has already been a very impactful and destructive hurricane season.

We expect two to four more direct impacts to the United States this season. It only takes one powerful hurricane or slow-moving tropical storm to threaten lives and cause devastation. With such extremely warm waters in much of the Atlantic basin, and more conducive conditions for tropical development expected in the coming weeks, it\u2019s important that everyone is prepared for the threat of more storms this year,\u201d Porter said.&nbsp;\u201cThe water is incredibly warm near many coastal cities in the United States. Those warm waters can act like jet fuel and help brewing storms explode in intensity. Rapid intensification near the coast is a major concern this fall.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Impacts<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several major records have already been shattered this hurricane season. DaSilva says Beryl was the earliest major hurricane on record to form east of the Lesser Antilles in June. Beryl was also the earliest Category 5 hurricane to form and the fastest-moving Category 5 hurricane on record.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beryl caused catastrophic damage in the Windward Islands and then impacted the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico before making a third landfall in Texas on July 8. Beryl slammed the Gulf Coast and knocked out power to millions of Texans, leaving people without electricity and air conditioning for days. Beryl spun up dozens of tornadoes as it moved inland and resulted in serious flash flooding into Northern New England. Tornado damage was reported in upstate New York, roughly 1,400 miles away from where the storm made landfall in Texas.
